I adopted Turnip and Cheetah on December 15th 2013. I had recently lost my 18 year old chocolate point Siamese and I knew that eventually I wanted to adopt two kittens. A good friend lives in Salida, and I was heading up to visit over the weekend, when I was advised to look at your web site and to bring my cat carrier with me. I had no intention of adopting so soon after loosing Angel. I drove up from Denver to meet Turnip, after looking at his picture I knew I......

We are thrilled to have found Casey after a long search for the perfect kitty. We were also extremely impressed with the Ark-Valley operation in Poncha Springs, the friendliness of the staff and the exceptional cleanliness of the facility. We have looked in many places and Ark-Valley is the best! Casey was 7 months old when we adopted him last month. For the first 24 hours, he did not stop purring! He explored every nook and cranny in the house and especially loves the high places. Surprisingly, he loves playing in water......

Hello! We adopted “Sunny” earlier this year. We have renamed him “Nugget” because of his gold coloring and also because we adopted him in Colorado. I just thought I would send you this picture of him in his new home. He has two “big sisters” who he loves to play with… especially Waffles. They roll and play all the time! He is quite the pouncer too. But, more than that, he is just a loveable little kitten who has made himself right at home in our home and hearts! Anyway,......

Hi! We are writing on behalf of our sweet girl Loona (formerly Lola) who we adopted in May 2012. She is a Black & Tan Coonhound and a true Colorado dog. We adopted her after losing one of our doxies to cancer and we needed another big personality in the house. Loona jumped right in to the family as a great fit. In our year and a half together we have hiked three 14ers, thrown a tennis ball more times than anyone has time to count and swam countless hours in high......

Just wanted to let everyone at the shelter know that Spirit and Willow (now Sylvia and Margo) have settled in wonderfully! Here i s a pic of them cuddling on the couch with my dog 🙂 Margo has completely come out of her shell and loves snuggling on a warm lap and even comes out to greet guests. Sylvia is just as outgoing as ever and encourages her sister to approach new people. They are a joy to watch playing together around the house. We think they are the nicest, sweetest kitties......

Hello my friends, my name is Jasper and I just wanted to say thank you for making my time at AVHS amazing. Even if I could be a bit nervous and cautious at times, everyone gave me so much love. Well I still was uncertain about things, so I called out to the Universe for help. It’s weird, but this guy shows up out of the blue, and I instantly knew we could be buds. When I spent my first night over with this human, I was so excited. He had the......
